MAKIG GARMENTS
FOR NEEDY PEOPLE
Women From Churches In North
Canton Are Busy Sewing For
Persons Unable To Purchase
Clothes—Mrs. H. W. Hoover
Outlines Plan At Meeting.
EVERYBODY IS WELCOME
An organization was formed at a
meeting of ladies from all the
churches in North Canton when they
met with Mrs. H. W. Hoover at the
lodge for an all-day sewing on garments for the Community Welfare as
sociation.
One hundred garments were made on
that day and the ladies agreed to meet
on the following Thursday, -Sept. 23,
in the social room of Zion Reformed
church.
Mrs. Hoover's Views
At this meeting Mrs. Hoover, who
is general chairman, made a short
address, following the pot-luck dinner
served at noon, in which she explained the purpose of the organization
and stated that help would be given
to those nearest home first and after those were supplied the remaining
articles could be sent farther on.
Mrs. Hoover said it was not necessary to belong to a church in North
Canton to assist in the work of the
association. Any lady was eligible to
membership in the group, the' object
of wliich was to make garments for
those in need or who will be in need.
Will Sew On Thursday
Those -present voted to meet on
Thursday, October 1 (tomorrow) in
Zion Lutheran church for ari all-day
sewing, each person to bring her own
lunch. Coffee will be served by the
ladies of that church.
Mrs. Hoover urged that each one
present look about their attics or storage rooms,for articles of clothing that
can be made over. Materials of any
kind that can be used will be acceptable.
These articles to be remade may be
left at any time in the Community
Building and will be cared for by a
committee.
Garments for small boys and little
girls may often be made from the
outgrown or partly worn garment of
a larger child. Of course, newer
clothing will be acceptable, and
clothes needing mending will be carefully darned,'.-patched or remade.
.Sunday-school classes have been
asked to contribute whatever they
can from - their treasury to buy material for this work.
Remember, readers of The Sun, that
while ladies from all four churches
are co-operating, every person who
wishes to come to these meetings is
cordially invited and will be more
than welcome. So come and assist.
Bi-ing your lunch to Zion Lutheran
church on Thursday morning and help
in this worth-while work.

Fred Smith, superintendent of the
North Canton watev department, notified The Sun this morning that tomorrow (Thursday) evening at 5:30
o'clock the water will be turned off
and remain off for about one hour and
a-half.
The water department is going to
flush the water lines tomorrow, so be
prepared. Put aside enough water to

After that hour, water, equal to "the

instead of a "ducky." It is guaranteed not to injure your throat or your

Speaking about tanks, Mr. Smith
filled the new tank yesterday. It took
the department twelve hours to fill it
and it required 275,000 gallons.
This additional storage tank will
prevent a "famine," keep the insurance rate from climbing and prevent

Telling of the Activities of Norih Canton American Legion Post No. 419 ahd of the Legion Auxiliary
Legion Convention
With the close of the Amreican Legion convention at Detroit the year
officially came to a close. Now the
new State Commanders assume their
posts and direct activities for the year
1932.
; The movement for payment of the
remainder of the adjusted compensation certificates was turned down in
accord with the wishes of President
Hoover.
The 18th Amendment
The prohibition question created
some heated discussion, but a motion
was finally passed to ask Congress to
consider modification. The daily newspapers seldom fully explain such deliberations and if they did people
■would not read them. This resolution
is no different than that passed by the
American Medical association and several other organizations in national
meetings. Those who expect a repeal
of the eighteenth amendment are
doomed to disappointment for that-is
almost impossible. The only change
that can be made will have to be made
in the Volstead Act, which is an interpretation of the eighteenth amend-1
ment. The# prohibition amendment is
a generalization and the Volstead Act
specifies as to what it shall apply.. |
Amotg those from North Canton,
who attended the Detroit convention
were Comrades Zengler, Stang andj
Cady.

On Friday afternoon, October 2,
North Canton high footballers will entertain Canal Fulton in the annual tilt
between the two schools. Fulton has
won for the past two years, but will
encounter some real opposition this
year when they clash with the Black
and Gold.
This game will mark the opening of
the league season for North Canton
and the team is set to do a good job
of starting.
That Massillon Game
Last Friday the game wtih Massillon Reserves started in a steady
downpour but it did not dampen the
enthusiasm of the young players. The
play during the first half was about
evenly divided between the territories
of both teams with North Canton
maintaining a slight edge. However,
the second half found the locals fighting for every yard antl the visitors
were backed to their own goal line
continuously.
The only score of the game came in
the third period when Massillon was
forced back to their own ten-yard
line. A bad pass from center slowed
up an end run and Traxler and Carle
pulled the Massillon back down behind his own goal. North Canton 2,
Massillon Reserves 0.
Some Real Football
This score only added to the determination of the' locals and after an
exchange of punts in the final period
a punt was blocked for Massillon with
Powell covering. An advance was then
begun but the game ended on Mas-
sillon's fifteen-yard line.
The entire North Canton team deserves credit for playing good football, but Powell at center, Winger at
end, and Mohler in the backfield -deserve mention for their outstanding
aggressiveness and good work. Powell
was also captain for the, game and
performed as a good field general.

Tlie Greensburg Merchants, champs
of the yesteryears, are going after
brawn and brains this season and their
manager is signing- some of the fastest teams he can locate.
"Unless they have dash, speed, know
the game and can go the full pace we
don't want to play them," he said to a
writer for The Sun. "We. have the
material and it is cut to measure. So
if a manager of a strong team wants
a game we are willing to accommodate
him," said R. J. Bridenthal, manager
of the Merchants.
On Sunday afternoon, Oct. v4, at
2:30 the Greensburg Merchants will
play the Akron I. G. A.'s on Oberlin
field, Greensburg.
On Sunday, Oct. 11, the Serbian A.
C. of Akron "will tackle the Merchants
on Oberlin field. These teams are
strong contenders for -championship

good games may be expected.

419 for two years, will retire from office on Monday, October 5, when he
will be succeeded by Melvin R. Bixler,
principal of the North Canton high
school, and former World War veteran.
' Just because Gordon Curry is stepping down don't think even for an instant that he is stepping away—from
Legion activities. Gordon isn't that
kind. He will be on hand backing
Commander Bixler to the limit, and
the number of suggestions he packs
in his active brain would keep an

A loyal citizen of North Canton,
wherever you place him, Gordon
Curry accomplishes things of value for
the Legion Post antl community without apparent effort. He has tne
knack of making men work with him
and they enjoy doing it.
In his letter to his buddies urging
them to be present at the installation
ceremonies on October 5, Commander
Curry says:
Gordon Curry's Letter
DEAR COMRADES: This is my
final notice to you as your Commander and with it I wish to extend my
thanks for the support you have given
me with our Post's several activities
throughout the last two years.
To have been Commander of North
Canton Post is an honor of which I
am very proud because it represents
the friendship of a band of men whose
names have spread over Ohio in making our Post one of the State's leaders. There is not another community
our size that can boast of a membership such as ours, of a Drum Corps, of
a Uniformed Firing Squad, of a Junior Baseball team antl last, but not
least by any means, of an Auxiliary
such as ours. Our name has been
among those backing every movement
of the State and National headquarters. This has only been possible
through your untiring effort and loyal
support.
Every member contributed to our
success if he did nothing more than
become a member. A lot of men find
it impossible to enter into the active
work, but backing the movement by
their membership is an aitl that has
enabled the active members to carry
on.
In the last two years I have been
assisted by a corps of officers and an
executive committee who never refused a request although it meant a sacrifice on their part and to them. The
Post and I extend our thanks.

It not only "looked like rain," but
it. did rain cm Suntlay afternoon, and
while tlie weather man was considerate enough to keep back the showers
during the dedication services in Witwer park a number of persons "feared it would rain," and stayed away
from the exercises.
Enough people ventured forth, however, to make a good-sized audience,
and these people were well repaid
for their bravery.
The program was short and snappy,
and Ellis Schiltz, as master of cere- -
monies, put the program through
without undue haste but on schedule
time. His introductions tlrew a number of laughs antl he had his audience in good humor in jig time.
Harold Leads Singing
Harold Schiltz stood on the platform antl pepped up the singing. John
Moye, chaplain of, the American Legion Post, made the invocation and
also the closing prayer.
The Corhmumty Band, under Leader
Fondriest, played patriotic airs in its^,
usual classy style, and the people
joined in.
Miss Dorothy Neff recited in excel- .
lent voice, "Forty Years Ago," and
deserved the applause she received.
On the platform were the former
Mayors of North Canton and officials
of the yesteryears. Mayor Wolf was
detained in Cleveland on legal business, so was .unable to be present.
Chairman Schiltz said the former
Mayors "are a fine bunch." He even
accused them of being good-looking.
Started On. Time
The Drum and Bugle Corps came
in for much applause as they paraded
antl played after the ceremonies.
Commander Gordon Curry was in
charge of the parade. He started it
off on time on Harman street antl it
made a fine appearance as it wended.
its way to the park.
Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts were
present and the boys assisted in the

stone on which are the names of the
first officials 'A th':: tov.'vi after its

The young people of North Canton

Thursday night of meeting and hearing the nationally known Denton T.
"Cy" Young, long heralded "King of
Pitchers" antl holder of three baseball records which probably will remain unequalled in sport history.
Mr. Young,ibeginning his career in
1890, pitched 22 seasons in the American and National leagues; played a
total of S73 games and of these won
511. The nearest approach to this
magnificent record was made by the
late retired twirler, Walter Johnson,
who lacked only two seasons for a tie,
but who was nearly 100 below Young's
games played and won.
Added to these accomplishments,
"Cy" has the distinction of having
pitched three no-hit, no-run games.
They were against Cincinnati on Sept.
17, 1897; Philadelphia American league team, May 5, 1904, and New York
American league team, June 30, 190S.

Water Will Be Turned Off On Thursday From 5:30 To 7:00.
Fred Smith, superintendent of the
North Canton watev department, notified The Sun this morning that tomorrow (Thursday) evening at 5:30
o'clock the water will be turned off
and remain off for about one hour and
a-half.
The water department is going to
flush the water lines tomorrow, so be
prepared. Put aside enough water to
do you between 5:30 and 7:00\p.m.
After that hour, water, equal to "the
best in Ohio, will flow through the
pipes in this town. Clean, cool and
refreshing, and not a germ of disease
jn a tank full. Reach for a glassful,
instead of a "ducky." It is guaranteed not to injure your throat or your
stomach.
Speaking about tanks, Mr. Smith
filled the new tank yesterday. It took
the department twelve hours to fill it
and it required 275,000 gallons.
This additional storage tank will
prevent a "famine," keep the insurance rate from climbing and prevent
fires from spreading.

Telling of the Activities of Norih Canton American Legion Post No. 419 ahd of the Legion Auxiliary
Legion Convention
With the close of the Amreican Legion convention at Detroit the year
officially came to a close. Now the
new State Commanders assume their
posts and direct activities for the year
1932.
; The movement for payment of the
remainder of the adjusted compensation certificates was turned down in
accord with the wishes of President
Hoover.
The 18th Amendment
The prohibition question created
some heated discussion, but a motion
was finally passed to ask Congress to
consider modification. The daily newspapers seldom fully explain such deliberations and if they did people
■would not read them. This resolution
is no different than that passed by the
American Medical association and several other organizations in national
meetings. Those who expect a repeal
of the eighteenth amendment are
doomed to disappointment for that-is
almost impossible. The only change
that can be made will have to be made
in the Volstead Act, which is an interpretation of the eighteenth amend-1
ment. The# prohibition amendment is
a generalization and the Volstead Act
specifies as to what it shall apply.. |
Amotg those from North Canton,
who attended the Detroit convention
were Comrades Zengler, Stang andj
Cady.

On Friday afternoon, October 2,
North Canton high footballers will entertain Canal Fulton in the annual tilt
between the two schools. Fulton has
won for the past two years, but will
encounter some real opposition this
year when they clash with the Black
and Gold.
This game will mark the opening of
the league season for North Canton
and the team is set to do a good job
of starting.
That Massillon Game
Last Friday the game wtih Massillon Reserves started in a steady
downpour but it did not dampen the
enthusiasm of the young players. The
play during the first half was about
evenly divided between the territories
of both teams with North Canton
maintaining a slight edge. However,
the second half found the locals fighting for every yard antl the visitors
were backed to their own goal line
continuously.
The only score of the game came in
the third period when Massillon was
forced back to their own ten-yard
line. A bad pass from center slowed
up an end run and Traxler and Carle
pulled the Massillon back down behind his own goal. North Canton 2,
Massillon Reserves 0.
Some Real Football
This score only added to the determination of the' locals and after an
exchange of punts in the final period
a punt was blocked for Massillon with
Powell covering. An advance was then
begun but the game ended on Mas-
sillon's fifteen-yard line.
The entire North Canton team deserves credit for playing good football, but Powell at center, Winger at
end, and Mohler in the backfield -deserve mention for their outstanding
aggressiveness and good work. Powell
was also captain for the, game and
performed as a good field general.

Greensburg Merchants Will Play the
Akron I. G. A.'s, Oct. 14.
Tlie Greensburg Merchants, champs
of the yesteryears, are going after
brawn and brains this season and their
manager is signing- some of the fastest teams he can locate.
"Unless they have dash, speed, know
the game and can go the full pace we
don't want to play them," he said to a
writer for The Sun. "We. have the
material and it is cut to measure. So
if a manager of a strong team wants
a game we are willing to accommodate
him," said R. J. Bridenthal, manager
of the Merchants.
On Sunday afternoon, Oct. v4, at
2:30 the Greensburg Merchants will
play the Akron I. G. A.'s on Oberlin
field, Greensburg.
On Sunday, Oct. 11, the Serbian A.
C. of Akron "will tackle the Merchants
on Oberlin field. These teams are
strong contenders for -championship
honors in Summit county, so rattling
good games may be expected.

The Greensburg outfit played a nice
game ori Sunday when they downed
the Sumner Printers, 7 to 6. A large
crowd was out for the opening game
of the season.

Gordon Curry, who has served as
Commander of North Canton Post No.
419 for two years, will retire from office on Monday, October 5, when he
will be succeeded by Melvin R. Bixler,
principal of the North Canton high
school, and former World War veteran.
' Just because Gordon Curry is stepping down don't think even for an instant that he is stepping away—from
Legion activities. Gordon isn't that
kind. He will be on hand backing
Commander Bixler to the limit, and
the number of suggestions he packs
in his active brain would keep an
army on the move day and night.
A loyal citizen of North Canton,
wherever you place him, Gordon
Curry accomplishes things of value for
the Legion Post antl community without apparent effort. He has tne
knack of making men work with him
and they enjoy doing it.
In his letter to his buddies urging
them to be present at the installation
ceremonies on October 5, Commander
Curry says:
Gordon Curry's Letter
DEAR COMRADES: This is my
final notice to you as your Commander and with it I wish to extend my
thanks for the support you have given
me with our Post's several activities
throughout the last two years.
To have been Commander of North
Canton Post is an honor of which I
am very proud because it represents
the friendship of a band of men whose
names have spread over Ohio in making our Post one of the State's leaders. There is not another community
our size that can boast of a membership such as ours, of a Drum Corps, of
a Uniformed Firing Squad, of a Junior Baseball team antl last, but not
least by any means, of an Auxiliary
such as ours. Our name has been
among those backing every movement
of the State and National headquarters. This has only been possible
through your untiring effort and loyal
support.
Every member contributed to our
success if he did nothing more than
become a member. A lot of men find
it impossible to enter into the active
work, but backing the movement by
their membership is an aitl that has
enabled the active members to carry
on.
In the last two years I have been
assisted by a corps of officers and an
executive committee who never refused a request although it meant a sacrifice on their part and to them. The
Post and I extend our thanks.

It not only "looked like rain," but
it. did rain cm Suntlay afternoon, and
while tlie weather man was considerate enough to keep back the showers
during the dedication services in Witwer park a number of persons "feared it would rain," and stayed away
from the exercises.
Enough people ventured forth, however, to make a good-sized audience,
and these people were well repaid
for their bravery.
The program was short and snappy,
and Ellis Schiltz, as master of cere- -
monies, put the program through
without undue haste but on schedule
time. His introductions tlrew a number of laughs antl he had his audience in good humor in jig time.
Harold Leads Singing
Harold Schiltz stood on the platform antl pepped up the singing. John
Moye, chaplain of, the American Legion Post, made the invocation and
also the closing prayer.
The Corhmumty Band, under Leader
Fondriest, played patriotic airs in its^,
usual classy style, and the people
joined in.
Miss Dorothy Neff recited in excel- .
lent voice, "Forty Years Ago," and
deserved the applause she received.
On the platform were the former
Mayors of North Canton and officials
of the yesteryears. Mayor Wolf was
detained in Cleveland on legal business, so was .unable to be present.
Chairman Schiltz said the former
Mayors "are a fine bunch." He even
accused them of being good-looking.
Started On. Time
The Drum and Bugle Corps came
in for much applause as they paraded
antl played after the ceremonies.
Commander Gordon Curry was in
charge of the parade. He started it
off on time on Harman street antl it
made a fine appearance as it wended.
its way to the park.
Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts were
present and the boys assisted in the
unveiling of the plaque on the large
stone on which are the names of the
first officials 'A th':: tov.'vi after its

The young people of North Canton

Thursday night of meeting and hearing the nationally known Denton T.
"Cy" Young, long heralded "King of
Pitchers" antl holder of three baseball records which probably will remain unequalled in sport history.
Mr. Young,ibeginning his career in
1890, pitched 22 seasons in the American and National leagues; played a
total of S73 games and of these won
511. The nearest approach to this
magnificent record was made by the
late retired twirler, Walter Johnson,
who lacked only two seasons for a tie,
but who was nearly 100 below Young's
games played and won.
Added to these accomplishments,
"Cy" has the distinction of having
pitched three no-hit, no-run games.
They were against Cincinnati on Sept.
17, 1897; Philadelphia American league team, May 5, 1904, and New York
American league team, June 30, 190S.
